We had a smashing time at the lovely Manifold Gathering on the Staffordshire Moors. Malcolm had asked us to sing Phil and June Culclough's Song for Ireland as part of the Peace Concert and we were happy to oblige - Kip especially so after Dave the Hat had turned up with a flower, again!

This was our second visit to Bromyard, and the whole weekend was a joy! Yes, it rained on Saturday, but the atmosphere was warm and the audiences were fabulous, especially for our mainstage slot on Friday night. It was great to see so many old friends, and to make so many new ones.

On to the Manifold Gathering this coming weekend. We are very lucky people!

So this weekend we head southwest, to Trowbridge on Friday and Didmarton on Saturday. Well planned, you might think? Well yes, except that we leave Didmarton after our set on Saturday afternoon and head for Fleetwood, just north of Blackpool!

Only a couple of days yo go till the brand new "Folk on the Dock" Festival in Liverpool's lovely Albert Docks.

We'll be playing on the main Dock Stage at 11:45am on both Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th. Then we'll be mainly wandering round, watching some other bands, soaking up the atmosphere, and possibly enjoying the odd beer or three.

We've been pretty chuffed with the reviews we've received for Ashes & Dust up to now. Here's just a few snippets.

“If you already own some or all of this outstanding duo’s previous releases, you know why you need to add this to your collection. If not, herein lies one of your most treasured album purchases of 2016.”

"Winter Wilson's superbly-crafted musicianship, heartfelt songs and performance are the bedrock on which this country's folk circuit rests and both it and the world would be a poorer place without them.”
